Restrictions in The Language Compiled
| “ | It is a question of morality. We have a Bible and you are sinning! -- Mailloux |
” |
In order to allow one pass compilation ALGOL 68-R implemented a sub-set of the language defined in the original report:
- Identifiers, modes and operators must be specified before use.
- No automatic proceduring.
- Explicit void mode.
- No formal declarers.
- No parallel processing.
- goto may not be omitted.
- Uniting is only valid in strong positions.
Many of these restrictions were adopted by the revised report on ALGOL 68.

Famous quotes containing the word language:
“A president, however, must stand somewhat apart, as all great presidents have known instinctively. Then the language which has the power to survive its own utterance is the most likely to move those to whom it is immediately spoken.”
—J.R. Pole (b. 1922)
